Golden Legacy (SimplePlay) Slot Demo & Review

The Indiana Jones movies were great back in the day, but I’m not sure why developers still try to mimic them for slot themes – I mean, I doubt many of the newer generations will have even seen the movies. Still, we have another intrepid cowboy hat-wearing explorer/adventurer taking centre stage in another slot game. Using clues and hints picked up on his travels, he has located a mysterious island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is hellbent on unearthing its treasures. The slot is SimplePlay’s Golden Legacy, a 5×3 game with 243 ways to win and a 94.24% RTP. 

As you follow this rather ruggedly handsome man on his mission for valuable artefacts, you’ll come across some interesting finds of your own. There are stacked wilds that can help create winning combinations and even trigger a re-spin feature that locks those wilds in place for a re-spin of all remaining reels. Furthermore, if you trigger the free spins bonus, those wilds are always nudged fully into view when they land partially on the reels. Finally, one lucky spin could reward one of three progressive jackpots. 

Fancy a trip to this mysterious jungle in search of fortune? Our free demo slot of Golden Legacy below allows you to get a taste of how things will go before you decide to splash some real cash.

Many of the most prominent slot developers have created their own variations of this adventurer stereotype ever since Play’n Go enjoyed massive success with Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead. Pragmatic Play brought us John Hunter in slots such as John Hunter Nell’antica Roma, while NetEnt brought us Gonzo in Gonzo’s Quest, for example. I’m not sure we need another, but here we are again, so let’s get into it. 

While our protagonist treasure hunter is off searching for his riches, let’s explore those on offer on the Golden Legacy paytable. There are ten regular-paying symbols, six of which are premiums, and four of which offer much lower value wins. The Hat and Pistol symbols return the most, each with a maximum payout of 50x the stake for five symbol combinations, whilst the Lasso and Map share a 35x top payout, and the Compass and Whisky Bottle return up to 15x. There is a significant drop for the low pays, as evidenced by the 8x maximum win afforded by the Ace and King, the 6x return given by five of the Queen or Jack, and the 5x top payout of the Ten and Nine.  The Scatter Symbol, which pays anywhere in view, also has a maximum return of 25x the stake when five land. 

Before spinning the reels, the first port of call is to decide on an ideal stake. Bets supported range from a minimum of €0.30 per spin up to a maximum of €60.00, which will ensure all real money players can find a suitable entry point on the game.


Golden Legacy slot base game

Golden Legacy Slot base game

The Golden Legacy slot uses a 243-ways-to-win mechanic to calculate wins across its 5-reel and 3-row configuration. You’ll receive a payout whenever three or more matching regular symbols appear on successive reels beginning from the first reel. 


Stacked Wilds

Wild symbols can only land on reels 2, 3, and 4 and appear stacked. Wilds replicate any regular symbol needed to help create or enhance a winning combination. 


Respins

Whenever three stacked wild symbols appear on the same spin, the reels they’re on are locked in place while all others receive a re-spin. If another stacked wild lands due to the re-spin, they all lock in place once more for another. 


Progressive jackpots

Like a few other SimplePlay slots, three progressive jackpots are displayed at the top right of the reels. You can win any of the Mini, Minor, and Major jackpots on any random base game spin. 


Golden Legacy slot bonus features

When playing the Golden Legacy slot, the main aim is to trigger the free spins bonus. That happens when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere in view during the base game.  


Free Spins Feature

You receive 12 free spins in total, while it is also possible to trigger another 12 each time 3 or more scatter symbols land during the bonus. The only difference between the free and regular base game spins is that the Wild Nudge feature can trigger. When wild symbols land partially in view on the reels, they’re pushed up to fill their reels, giving you an increased chance to win.

Pros

  • Progressive jackpots are in play.
  • Nudging wilds can help to create big wins in the bonus round.

Cons

  • The theme lacks imagination - we’ve seen it all before. 

Golden Legacy Slot Review Final thoughts

One thing that appeals about many of SimplePlay’s slots is the chance to win a progressive jackpot, and not many of the smaller developers offer these, so it's a nice change. Thanks to some impressive graphics and animations, Golden Legacy looks the part tool, and whilst it could be argued that It is lacking in the bonus features department, fans of the provider will no doubt get a kick out of it.
